P2V Windows Hyper-v Guest - BSOD after Integrated Services updated

Windows 2016 HyperV role requires SLAT feature (only I3, I5, I7 etc...)

search Google for SLAT (Intel call it EPT).

If you have old CPU, use W2012R2 HyperV instead.

Skype for Business Edge and Windows Fabric

Running get-cswindowsservice on Edge gives:


Status   Name            ActivityLevel
------   ----            -------------
Running  REPLICA
Running  RTCCLSAGT
Stopped  FabricHostSvc
Running  RTCSRV          Incoming Requests per Second=0,Messages in Server=0...
Running  RTCDATAPROXY    Server Connections Currently Active=24
Running  RTCMRAUTH       Current Requests=0
Running  RTCMEDIARELAY   Active Sessions=0
Running  RTCXMPPTGWPX

I hope we should not be worried about FabricHostSvc being stopped, at least there is nothing visibly wrong with Edge functions. Here is a reference: https://greiginsydney.com/flip-your-lync-2013-edge-to-sfb/

SharePoint does not search custom column

There was a small issue with SharePoint 2010 that in advanced search could not find documents with specific string in custom column.  We have a custom column Prof

../_layouts/OSSSearchResults.aspx?k=(scope:"Documents")  Prof=QA

In the list we can see that this field has that value and we can even filter on it.

So somthing is wrong with search?

Indeed if we search as ../_layouts/OSSSearchResults.aspx?k=(scope:"Documents")  owsProf=QA

it finds ok the item. S the problem is ac tually in managed property. It is either does not exisit or not mapped correctly to crawled property. To fix that goto Central Admin, SEarch service administration - Metadata Property Mappings and add missing property - Prof - then map to crawled property  ows_Prof(text)

SharePoint get and set columns with powershell
